We exist here….

in the "Space Time Continuum"….

three dimensions of space moving through time….

our manifested universe. 

I say, “our” because, physicists have been informing us for a while that there are others….

But up till now, I have not experienced them….

nor have I even believed that I was able to imagine….

anything….

with my mind….

which didn’t come from my knowledge, and experience of this “reality”…

ours….

the one we see….

feel….

know.

Now, the day before yesterday, I awoke….

to myself stating, “Take the block off”....

or perhaps I simply took the “block” off myself. 

Immediately I experienced existing in a state which was not within the space time continuum....

and had no element....

of this world, or universe.

I experienced myself as a field. 

It was spherical in character.  

In one sense, you might even say it was about 7 feet in radius

….although that is meaningless

….because I had no reference.  

There was nothing there, but it was incredibly alive!

I was immediately aware of being powerful.

I knew I was experiencing a more real self...

and everything else was....

well....

insignificant.

You might say it was an empty, spherical space…

but….

to describe this mathematically….

if you start with a point…

and use another to define a line….

when you fill in all the points between those two….

to form the line….

there are an infinite number of points….

since each is a singularity….

with no volume…

they don’t take up space, right? 

So, in the case of the sphere...

I experienced the volume of the sphere….

theoretically made up of an infinite number of points....

singularities….

Well, each of these points....

emanated a force….

energy….

welling forth…expanding….increasing….

from each of the infinite "points" of the space within the sphere….

like water surging up from within a spring

….but with no source.

The experience was of a clear, perfectly uniform field of very refined energy…

moving out at a perfectly constant rate….

but there was really no movement at all….

there was energy….power….steady expansion....

but no motion….

actually it was very still….

a closed system in perfect balance….

and it was me! 

It was me….

but, I had no consciousness of the Time Space Continuum – the “place” I am typing to you from now.

I was in an utterly unknown reality.

Yet, I was very aware of my self....and I felt completely familiar. 

My experience was one of intense, but calm aliveness….

with a sense of exhilaration….

almost excitement….

maybe relief to discover that I am really not the beleaguered soul, which I normally identify with.

Existing as an energy field was an experience of being very pure….

completely free of negativity….

and powerful….

overall I would say….

I felt good.

Outside of the field I could “see” a universe of manifestations….

and activity….

but they cannot be described in terms of our physical world.

(Hense, the lack of pictures)

I will say though….

that they didn’t exist, or move linearly on flat surfaces.

They didn’t have gravity.

I was aware of entities....

but although there was intense detail, and….

color….

they were not matter….

maybe more like thought.

The whole experience lasted for what I would call an instant.

I was not dreaming though.

Also, I was not meditating....

or seeking this state in any way....

I didn't even know I could.

I just woke up and it happened....

as if I made an executive decision to override the egoic mind which normally dominates my consciousness....

and identity. 

I do know that the experience was real. 

I wonder if others are having these experiences....

are we being led elsewhere? 

Have you ever heard the ancient Egyptian principle:  "As above, so below"?  I noticed a very interesting parallel of this sort which exists regarding Oneness.... "Above" there is Oneness....most of us know of this....strive for it....have experienced it...We are all manifestations of the One Conscious Energy Field.

And below....we are separate....egoic individuals....right?  But perhaps Oneness is expressed below as well in the form of the collective egoic mind.  The collective egoic mind creates the reality we live in day to day.  We are all creating this....as one....right now.  Perhaps the impulse to be ONE which is our true nature....is mirrored in our Earthly world as the collective egoic mind. 

I wanted to share this because it occurred to me that we are so close....if we don't believe that as humans we can reach a point where we are One....look around....we act as one now....we're doing it.  Only the outcome is negative because we are manifesting our "oneness" through the egoic values of competition and conflict, instead of our higher impulses of peace, love, and cooperation. 

This is not because we are bad, but because we are identifying with our lower selves...biological entities...we are genetically programmed to compete as a survival mechanism....but we all know that we have a choice....to go beyond that....we are all aware of a True Self which has nothing to do with the body or the egoic mind.

So many of us have the feeling that we are going to have to go beyond to survive now.  Because the egoic mind had acquired a life of its own and has gone out of control.  The collective egoic mind is extremely powerful....and at its extreme....extremely evil....the kind of evil most of us do not encounter in our daily lives....but soldiers do, crime victims do....all corners of our egoic existence are being colored with its negativity....and it desires very much to continue existing.... 

The danger of what is happening on Earth right now cannot be exaggerated....but those who guide  us warn that we cannot fight evil....we must only continue to create our reality as One....but we must do it in a state of present moment consciousness....not egoic unconsciousness....Only if we fail to be conscious can the evil prevail.  The presence we bring to each and every moment creates the reality we live in and share with All.  When we are truly present we can easily tune in to the Love vibration which will heal our world.

Have you heard about Eckhart Tolle’s concept of the “pain  body”…. a portion of our Self, the Universal Consciousness, which somehow gets cut off from the Whole….Eckhart explains that each of us has a pain body.  It is part of our egoic experience.  It exists to play out its separateness, and the anger, and grief that separation from the Divine embody, in myriads of scenarios in our lives.  We get into an irrelevant conflict…we feel depressed…we get all worked into a lather over something and then wonder why….that’s the pain body.

 As many of us believe, as sensate extensions of the Conscious Energy Field we exist here to experience Life.  But the pain body takes possession of our “mind/body complex” and uses it to play out its agenda.  It cleverly induces us into situations where we will experience pain….the pain of disappointment, of hatred, of frustration….and then it feeds upon that pain.  The pain body is the embodied belief that we are separate from the Universal.  Therefore, by making us believe that we are separate, and making us experience the pain of that separation, the pain body perpetuates itself. 

If I think about it, it seems that all of my negative emotions can be traced to a belief that I am not Whole….that I need something….that this limited “mind/body complex” is all I really am….all egoic beliefs….all beliefs the pain body wants us to hold.  Because as Eckhart Tolle tells us, the instant I exist here and now….in the moment…. and cease to believe that I am this egoic individual that I constantly identify with…. I am not in pain….I am experiencing life.  Then the pain body comes to an end.  It cannot exist if we are in the moment….Whole.  The moment we cease to identify with it, it loses its hold.  But the pain body doesn’t want that so it fights.

I thought about this as it relates to depression.  Such a sad vibration….a vibration of loss, and disappointment.  That is the pain body for sure.  Eckhart says that some have a relatively light pain body and experience it infrequently, while a few have such a strong pain body that they experience it all the time, and are never free of it.  Could this be the case with dysthymia….chronic depression form birth?  If so….this is the most hopeful thing I have heard.  Stop identifying with it and it loses its hold.  In fact once released, the pain body returns to us as the Life Force it once was before it was cut off from Us!  We are actually energized by it!
